I have questions if anyone is in KC or knows anything about this, or T-Bones in general.
1) This specific airplane - it looks a HELL of a lot like one that used to be in the KC area owned by a guy named Sy Royce. The FAA registration database doesn't go back that far and it had gone to places other than KC but I could swear this used to be based in KC. If it's the same plane, my Grandpa borrowed it in the 70's for a trip to Phoenix and I rode in it (I can't remember the N number - I was 7).
2) Will a T-Bone with one occupant fly on one engine (I know they can)? So, does the article says the left failed - I was assuming both had failed. Does anyone know the story? Neither prop was feathered in the pictures I've seen of this.
Possible misfuelling leading to failure/loss of power?
Let's all speculate on the cause!

With no injuries, one official deems plane’s landing on I-470 ‘just short of a miracle’
With hundreds of homes and businesses nearby, not to mention all the drivers on I-470, officials say this was a close call that could have ended much, much worse.
